¶1 The defendant was indicted for carrying a concealed weapon. He admitted that he purchased a pistol at a store and put it in his pocket and carried it home.
¶2 The only question sent to the jury was the intent with which the pistol was carried. Plis Honor charged the jury that they were the sole judges of the intent, and that if defendant put the pistol in his pocket only to carry it home he was not guilty, but if they believed from the evidence *573 that he did so with inteat to conceal it while carrying it, he would be guilty; also, that they must not consider the evidence of what occurred at the corn shucking.
¶3 The question was properly left-to the jury. State v. Dixon, 114 N. C., 850; State v. Pigford, 117 N. C., 748. The Statute raises the presumption of criminal intent, and it is for the defendant to rebut the presumption, which, in the opinion of the jury, he failed to do. State v. McMa nus, 89 N. C., 555; State v. Lilly, 116 N. C., 1049.
¶4 No Error.
